Before her ‘great’ romance with Jacob, Holly was in a there-year relationship with Kyle Christie, which she describes as ‘horrific’.

‘That relationship that I was in for three years, that was horrific. It taught me so much. I couldn’t be the person I am now without going through all that,’ she told OK! magazine.

Luckily, the Geordie star seems pretty smitten with her new Prince Charming, as she added: ‘Now in this relationship I respect myself, and knew what I was going to stand for, and what I wasn’t going to put up with.

‘Now, we don’t have any issues with trust or anything. We’re just happy.’

‘For us to still be this happy and content with each other, and still fancy each other like when we first met, it’s crazy.’

And it seems Holly isn’t holding back when it comes to planning her future with Jacob either, confessing she’s dropped some not-so-subtle proposal hints.

She said: ‘I’ve sent him the ring I want and everything. He’s fully aware.’

It seems she’s even began meticulously planning her pregnancy, as she continued: ‘I don’t want a baby that’s born in the winter, so once I get pregnant it would have to be in August, September or October… and that’s kind of flying round! It’s a bit of a nightmare. If it’s not this August, September or October, it’ll be next!’
